Lizards
I was told some years ago that when I hear the sound of a house lizard, I need to knock on wood and wish for good luck. I still do it, out of habit, and not because I believe in the powers of that distinct tsk, tsk sounds. I am also fascinated how they can detach their tail to escape their predator as I often find some moving tails whether I am in the kitchen or in the garden tending the plants.
One day I was bored waiting for my special student to finish his work, I started working on another set of illustrations and this time, lizards. Frogs and lizards are two things that fascinate my student that why I drew some for him. Here are some of my lizard sketches.
And nestled amongst the back of our shoe racks in school is a blind lizard that became a source of excitement for the children to look at every morning. The novelty is gone but the lizard had stayed put and is often off to search for food in the evening. We knew it moves because we find it in different positions everyday.
Tsk, tsk, tsk... good luck for me! (I need some!)

ang pagdodrawing ang isang skill na ang mga kiddielets ko lang ang nakaka-appreciate ng aking mga gawa... hehehe... ang galing mo cher jo... siguro you have a thick portfolio na of your artworks for your students :D
Marami na rin pero mostly artworks for auction. I like drawing pero I am more inspired when I am doing it with someone kasi na-cha-challenge ako, lol!
I appreciate lizards kasi nga, bug eaters sila. Kahit nga monitor lizards I like wag lang buwaya in my garden.
Thanks, kahit naman ako fan mo rin sa mga crafts mo. I think the bloggers I know are so talented in many aspects. Puwede na tayong mag negosyo. :)
Speaking of negosyo, magbebenta na ko:)
Take care po dahil mahirap din ang sobrang lamig. Good luck sa negosyo!
na amaze ang mga anak ko when they first saw house lizards in bohol back in 2005. plus, we have a huge tuko too sa bahay ng parents ko.
Ganda ng kulay nung last image. Wala pa akong nakikitang tulad non dito sa Pinas...Anyway, wishing you also the best!! Blessings to you!
Sa amin naman, pag may narinig kang humuhuning butiki, may paparating daw na bisita sa bahay. I don't know if it was a fact or myth lng lol
Yung last picture ng lizard, parang isa syang gecko?
There is one mom of one of my students who is dreadfully scared of lizards even if it is very small. Guess we have all our chosen pets and pests.
Thanks for the thumbs up Ric!
I draw kita, na mukhang palaka o butiki. I can draw animals not beautiful people like you. They become ugly, ha,ha,ha.
Aba eh di fiesta na sa bahay ko niyan dahil laging may "humuhuni". Thanks for the compliments. Siya ay isang gecko.
Now I will google why, he,he.
Cheers!
(Nakonsensya ako sa comment mo na "more blog postings please" ha ha. Babawi ako soon pati sa bloghopping :)
I used to draw, and even tried painting, too. (Watercolours be the preferred... er, diversion.).
But I get frustrated easily. A bad quality, I know. Maybe will pick it up again, who knows. (You can even teach me. The thought alone excited me so much.).
Oh why is it that when I comment, either I get turned on in the end, or I turn to mush? I miss you. I just miss you so very much.
